There are many things that matter to me the most.

 

In school, friends matter to me the most, but it hurts really badly

 

when they don't notice or pay attention to me.

 

My mother and father are the two most important people in my life.

 

I don't know what I do without them, I probably wouldn't be

 

the person a appear to be today.

 

My most prize possessions in the world that I can not live without

 

would be my stuff lamb, I had since birth, and my fathers dog tag,

 

he gave me when I was 13.

 

It's always been my mother and I, ever since I was little.

 

My dad is in the military, so he went TDY for most of my childhood.

 

The first time, I thought, when I little that people were taking him away

 

from me.  I finally got my dad back when I was 17 years old.

 

What matters to me is my intelligence that I have and how I use it.

 

It’s important to be smart in life, especially when it comes to the

 

the choices that are thrown at you.
